Tatasi
Tatasi is a small town in Bolivia in the Potosí Department, in Sud Chichas Province, Atocha Municipality. It is situated at the Tatasi River and located at the foothills of the Cordillera de Lípez.
Tatasi is the most populous settlement in the canton of Portugalete and lies in the district (Bolivian : Municipio) Atocha in the province of Sur Chichas. The village is located at an altitude of 4065m in a high mountain depression on the irregularly flowing Río Tatasi, one of the source rivers of the Río Tupiza. Tatasi is framed by ridges that rise to an altitude of 4,460 meters, surrounding the town almost entirely. Almost three kilometers west of Tatasi is the uninhabited ghost village of Portugalete and the mining colony at the Tatasi-Portugalete Mine, which were abandoned in the 19th century after the silver mines there were exhausted and the mining colonies there moved on.
